huh!!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of friendships between guys and girls lead to relationships eventually. Because the friendship is between a guy and a girl, hormones and such always get in the way, especially in teenagers. Sometimes friendships are formed because one party is thinking about a relationship and that’s their motive to be friends with someone. Other times thoughts of a relationship don’t even come up until much later in a friendship. In addition, every so often thoughts about a relationship never come up in a friendship. However, for the majority of friendships between guys and girls, the idea of a relationship in either the girl’s or the guy’s mind is inevitable.
Going from a friendship to a relationship is a very risky thing to do. Just speaking your thoughts out loud can ruin or strengthen a friendship. If one person is interested and speaks his mind but the other person isn’t, the may get wierded out and avoid the first person, therefore ruining the friendship. Or a friendship can be so strong that keeping your interest hidden will create a bump in the fabric of the friendship and hurt the friendship. Making that jump is a risky thing but when you analyze this a little more you’ll see that either outcome is for the better. If you express your interest and the other person starts avoiding you, it’s clear that they didn’t value your friendship as much as you did and your saving yourself effort in the long run. But if you express your interest and the other person rejects you but clearly wants to keep being friends with you then they cherish your friendship as much as you do and it’s all good becasue you got over that stage (hopefully) and you two can have a better friendship now.
In conclusion, yes, taking the chance of stepping up the friendship is risky. But do you really want to be friends with someone who will so easily throw away your friendship?
